Description

There is a big difference between knowing something and feeling it. The only way to taste Hashem is to constantly think about Him. When we know something intellectually only, than we see everything as a burden which is stopping us from enjoying. When we actually taste and feel Hashem we feel it is the most enjoyable thing. People relate to the mitzvos that make them feel good because they taste the good. The only thing in the world which is really good is G-d and we have the ability to have that all the time. If the things we do are also part of our service of G-d, than these things are also good. As long as someone knows their goal is to be close to G-d, nothing can stop them from this goal.
